Manda De Laos: "Spectacular oasis in Luang Prabang"
We went for lunch on a very hot day....the setting is beautiful with lily ponds and orchids everywhere. The waiters are very attentive. I had the lunch special 'burger' so many interesting and delicious things on a soft bun. Pork floss (!!), the best caramelised onions, the fresh herbs, sausage and sauces. So good. Didn't need the buffalo rissole. Homemade icecream afterwards was lovely too. Photographers' dream.Mie Cafe: "Lovely little restaurant with absolutely delicious food."
"My daughter recommended this restaurant having visited it last year. We were not disappointed. We ate from the a la carte menu but were tempted by the gourmet set menus. The food was beautifully presented and the flavours were magical. I highly recommend this little gem, set in a beautiful garden setting."Tugu Bali: "Super excellent"
"That was so awesome to stay there with the warm atmosphere The staff so friendly and very helpfull I can feel comfort with the music, food and about the colection I'll be back next time and i'll tell to all of my friends if they visiting bali they must to try stay at hotel tugu bali"Golden Buddha Beach Resort: "Paradise"
"This is one of my favorite places in the world. As soon as you wade ashore off the long tail boat that drops you off you know your somewhere special. It's a wonderful escape from work, city living and the world. There's nothing to do here but relax. A 10km long beach with pretty much no one on it and beautiful water. Small islands and mangrove swamps to explore by kayak. Beautiful beach homes to kick back in. The option of yoga in the morning and massage any time of day. Stayed January 2017, traveled with family"Dewakan: "A star on the fine dining stage of Malaysia"
Let me go straight to the point. We went here mid October and tried Dewakan's 17 course menu, one regular and one vegetarian (available upon request when you make your reservation). They dealt with the vegetarian request so, so well. The kitchen created completely new dishes that they'd never had on the menu before - razor clams, squid, red snapper, mushroom tarts, you name it. All presented and explained really well. Lots of delicious courses on both menus. The highlights were the duck (roasted to perfection), the lowland vegetables, the prawn umai, the mango curry and the slow cooked red snapper. The rice porridge with razor clams was also a pleasant surprise (served with ox tongue on the non-vegetarian menu). The service was great and the venue is nice and stylish. Dewakan is a little off track, probably a 35-45 mins drive from KLCC, but it's so worth it! Next time (because we will come back), I also hope there are sweet wines/ dessert wines available by the glass too. Cannot wait!The Twelve Hotel: "Excellent"
Extraordinary hotel. Located in the heart of Bangkok this beautiful old building is a haven of peace with Athy and Sebastien particularly pleasant hosts, good advice and really professional Great rooms, 2 magnificent outdoor pools, and very affordable prices. An absolute must go. A ++++Locavore: "Bouche amused"
Truly delicious, innovative, and in the number of surprise courses they keep bringing you, surprisingly good value.Tiger Mountain Pokhara Lodge: "The best views in all of Pokhara"
"What a magical stay this was! With breathtaking views of the Himalayan mountain range right from your balcony any time of day, the views alone are worth the stay. When the skies are clear, and if you ask, the staff will come to your room and wake you up so you can watch the sun rise from the mountains -- a view that will bring you to tears. Meals are included in the price -- the chef cooks the best Nepali curries I've ever had the pleasure of trying. The estate itself is lovely, quaint, lodge-like and smack right in the middle of nature. The hotel itself is also part of the Pack for a Purpose initiative -- where you can pack school supplies and give them to a school at a local village nearby. Another truly authentic and beautiful experience. I'd go again in a heart beat next time I find myself in Pokhara."Samanea Beach Resort: "Excellent resort"
"he resort is situated at the sea shore two km from the crab market in Kep. The villas are great, with lots of space and a very beautiful bathroom. The garden is beautiful. The swimming pool is excellent, having a great view to the ocean. Service is outstanding. They offer a good selection of French wine in the bar. This is by far the best resort we have tried in S.E. Asia- and it outcompetes 5 star hotels."Jing’s Residence: "Terrific stay, best in Pingyao"
My family of four stayed 2 terrific nights at Jing's Residence in November 2016. The staff was incredibly attentive, and very engaging and friendly to our two young children. The hotel is beautiful, clean and well appointed. Wonderful atmosphere. Fantastic food, also. Location is perfect for exploring Pingyao, and the hotel can arrange a reasonably priced car and driver to nearby attractions. Highly recommend this hotel to stay, and the restaurant also. Pingyao - due in part to how much we liked Jing's Residence - was one of my favorite experiences in China over four years living here.
